On Wednesday, November 29, 2023, the Court of Cessation will rule on the validity of the judicial procedure. Billionaire Vincent Bolloré is accused of corruption in Togo. But considers that his presumption of innocence has been definitively flouted

Bolloré has been under investigation since 2018 for bribing a foreign public official in the investigation into the attribution of management of the port of Lomé in Togo, between 2009 and 2011. He has been arrested since 2013 and suspected of having used the political advisory activities of his subsidiary Euro RSCG (now Havas) to fraudulently take over the management of the port of Lomé, for the benefit of another of its subsidiaries, Bolloré Africa Logistics, formerly known as SDV, at the time of Faure Gnassingbé's

According to Chanez Mensous, litigation and advocacy manager at the anti-corruption association Sherpa, it is essential that these corruption cases, which contribute to the erosion of trust in democracy, be subject to a public trial.
